Obama team responds to IWRC* Palin's smears

By GottaLaff

Swift response to Swiftboat tactics:

The Obama campaign responded swiftly to Palin’s comments. “Governor Palin’s comments, while offensive, are not surprising, given the McCain campaign’s statement this morning that they would be launching Swiftboat-like attacks in hopes of deflecting attention from the nation’s economic ills.” Obama-Biden spokesman Hari Sevugan said in a statement released by Obama’s campaign. “In fact, the very newspaper story Governor Palin cited in hurling her shameless attack made clear that Senator Obama is not close to Bill Ayers, much less ‘pals,’ and that he has strongly condemned the despicable acts Ayers committed 40 years ago, when Obama was eight. What’s clear is that John McCain and Sarah Palin would rather spend their time tearing down Barack Obama than laying out a plan to build up our economy,” Sevugan added.

Gramm-pa McCain and IWRC are dying to change the subject and redirect the limited attention span of the media to a simplistic war of words. The economy is too complicated and painful. This is easily understood and can be reduced to sub-human, sewer-level entertainment.
